Mom and I were talking tonight. She was supposed to meet with a friend today, and she called her friend to see where she was, but she was busy doing something else. And that was ok with mom, but she was talking about how friendships change. They just change. People change. Or you change. It doesn’t make you dislike them or feel like you are better than they are, you just aren’t as close as before.
My friend, Danielle, and I use to do everything together. Everything. For a few years. Both of our lives changed, and while we are still friends, we don’t talk everyday. Sometimes we don’t talk for months. I don’t despise her or think she despises me or is plotting against me or whatever (because she just wouldn’t do that!), but our relationship changed! (I still expect you to come over a day with all your Littles and see the babies, though, Danielle!)
It is a blessing to know that though I may change, and my friends may change, that God never does. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. I know He will never change, and because of this, though the friendships do change, He can still be in them, and the friendship can remain, but even if it doesn't, Jesus is the friend that sticketh closer than a brother! Oh, what a Friend we DO have in Jesus! (Proverbs 18:24) Jesus is the friend of many. He is the friend of those who love Him and believe on him as the Saviour today, as He was the friend of many 2000 years ago.
Luke 12 says:
1In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. 3Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. 5But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.
He cared about his friends, so he told them what is bad for their souls. He warned them of whom to fear or watch out for. He told them because he loved them. He was warning them about the religious men of the day. Men in authority in that day. Men who did not know God, nor did they recognize the Saviour.
Jesus was giving a warning about something that appeared holy, because it was necessary for them to know this. Just like what we are told about in the Word of all the things that God hates and will not be allowed in heaven. We aren’t told those things to put a damper on our fun or to keep us down or to make us appear ‘holier-than-thou”, but because He LOVES us!
The Ten Commandments.
The Books of the Law.
These are laws for the same reasons we tell our children to stay out of the street. The street is a dangerous place, and we love them and want to protect them. God loves us. Jesus loves us. He is our Friend, our Best Friend, and He tells us things even if we don’t want to hear them.
Jesus told His Disciples many things. He could not make them heed His warnings; He could only hope that they would trust Him and believe His words. When his words were too unbelievable for them, like Peter and the cock crowing, they did find out in the end that Jesus was telling them things out of His love for them, to warn them. He is our best friend. We can put our trust in Him, because He will not let us down.
Psalm 41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
People will.
People do.
I do.
When I let you down, my friends, I can only point you to Jesus, the best friend and Saviour of the world.

Outside My Window… the aquarium. We have a lamp on it to attract flying bugs at night to feed the toads and frogs the kids catch all summer. We have had salamanders in it before, but not at this time.
I am thinking… about taking Eric to the Dr. for a tetanus shot. Not sure I should or shouldn’t. After reading what happens if you get tetanus, I decided I need to take him.
I am thankful for… God’s sustaining power to calm me down and give me an understanding that no one else can.
From the kitchen…chicken. In the crock pot. Smells yummy.
I am wearing… simple jean skirt with a yarn design on it and an orange tshirt that just doesn’t match real well!
I am creating… a simpler, de-junked home, with schedules and a fun homeschool year!
I am going… to sit here and think and pray.
I am reading… all the info I can on Lapbooking, which I posted today on Memo Monday.
I am hoping… I don’t have to go to the hospital tonight! Taking eric and getting a shot goes well tonight.
I am hearing… Lucy at the door looking out at the goats and chickens, talking to Caleb. Amanda is helping Hannah pick out recipes for the Creative Kitchen on GGM.
Around the house… things are pretty anxious. Eric is not used to sitting on the couch, and is in a bit of pain. We also have quite a few things to accomplish today that won’t be finished until tomorrow. Dinner is being made, bedrooms are being straightened and Daddy is playing with the Littles.
One of my favorite things… a warm, uninterrupted bath (though some of the sweetest times with our children are when I would rather be alone, and they are just way too cute!)
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: Pick out paint for the walls, send out GGM assignments for the September 2008 Issue, write up ideas and cut out booklets for Doorposts and Cowboys lapbooks.
Here is picture thought I am sharing…
Hannah took this picture in June after picking oodles of our volunteer blackberries. Or raspberries. Or whatever they are! They were yummy, that’s for sure!

I talked last week about the video and how we must recognize our own sin and lost-ness before we will even know we have a need for a Saviour. If you do not believe in the need for your own redemption, then you cannot see a need for a Saviour, and Christ's death is foolishness. A prideful man does not know he must repent of his sin, because he sees no sin in his own life. But, God is merciful, and will show us our sin and the way for salvation through Jesus Christ. We know it is not foolishness, but a precious sacrifice by the Son of God for our sins.
Refrain:
Jesus is pleading;
He’s interceding;
Yes, pleading, pleading
For thee to come;
Come home, poor sinner,
Come home, come home.
Come home, poor sinner;
Why longer roam,Thy Savior’s calling,
“Come home, come home!
He died to save you
On Calvary;
Behold what suff’ring!
’Twas all for thee.
Oh, come to Jesus,
Do not delay;
Come, and He’ll save you;
Come while you may.
Oh, come to Jesus;
He’s waiting still
With His salvation,
Thy soul to fill.
Oh, come to Jesus;
How can you stay,
He’s pleading, pleading;
Come, come today.
We all have sin in our lives. We sin daily, and it is not the measure of our sin that condemns us, but the presence of the sin itself. God cannot be in the presence of sin, and so we must recognize our sin, repent of it and ask forgiveness. When we do this, God will forgive us, and we must make the decision to walk rightly, and to be aware of sin and do our best not to indulge in sin again, knowing it still condemns us. we must turn from our sinful ways and read the Word and live by it. The life of a Believer is not always easier, but we will one day meet God and live with Him and worship Him forever. Praise the LORD!!!
FOR TODAY August 4th...
Outside My Window... freshly-mowed grass, field of soybeans, pine trees in the distance, birds chatting at each other.
I am thinking... I wish I could get to sleep earlier and wake up earlier.
I am thankful for... Sunday when my husband can be home. From the kitchen... Jocelyn is washing dishes, and I can still smell the roast from last night. Still smells delicious!
I am wearing... my trusty old jean skirt and a tshirt, my usual at -home dress! I am creating... Isaac's name in cursive. He wants to write a letter to our dear friend, Miss Emily Rose to tell her he loves her, and we will be coming to see her soon! How sweet! There you go, Em.... I guess we MUST come to see you, because ALL of the Dixon's miss you guys!
I am going... to write his name for him! And then, upstairs to clean.
I am reading... my friends blogs, email from a dear friend in SC, whom I have not heard from in quite some time! An email from a dear Momma who found my blog and wrote me a very sweet, encouraging note. I am also reading up on all of my favorite homeschool resources for moms and Growing in Grace Magazine. I am hoping... the battery adapter to my laptop will get here by tomorrow so I can get back to planning school. I am hearing... Amanda read me the ads from the Old Schoolhouse packet, and Daisy, Rachel's rabbit, pick through hay and eating grass and maple leaves.
Around the house... it is nice outside after the morning rain, so the Littles are all outside with Rachel and Eric. Caleb is picking my tiger lillies. Amanda is working on her review with a Favorite Author of hers, things are put and about, as we try to determine what to pack away and what to give away or pitch. Caleb and Hannah are feeling better after a one-day illness, but I am afraid Loolie is coming down with it now.
One of my favorite things... a sunny Sunday when we can all spend time together with Matt on his only day off.
A Few Plans For The Rest Of The Week: wrap up TOS Reviews, give away and sell things we no longer need or use, re-finish wood floors
Here is picture thought I am sharing...

I am going to praise God this weekend by sharing a video about His Law. God’s Law, the Ten Commandments, are greatly forgotten today. Even in churches, we would rather make people feel comfortable and not offend them rather than to allow God to reveal their sins to them and bring their hearts to repentance.
By making them comfortable in their sins, we are not revealing the One True God and His true mercy, because they feel no need for His mercy and grace. But, that is not what God would have us to do. We are to present His Gospel as truly Good News.
This video lifts God up as a Holy and Just God who has given us, as unholy and sinful, a way to forgiveness and eternal life. It also takes a look at the unbiblical methods of modern evangelism and how we are creating a huge number of backsliders today by applying our own ideas, instead of God’s call to repentance.

When we turned our hearts and homeschool toward home a few years ago, the first thing that God impressed upon my heart was His Ten Commandments. I started emphasizing their worth and words and writing them out and displaying them in our home as we worked and learned and played. Now I understand. Praise God for His gentle leading and loving encouragement to follow.
Many Believers today discount the Law and the Old Testament, and I pray they will find the truth and love the Law, as Paul did, for it showed Him who He was and His need for a Saviour.
Without Him, I am nothing.
Psalm 119:92
Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction. Psalm 119:91-93 (in Context) Psalm 119 (Whole Chapter)
As it happens each month since February first, our hard work on Growing in Grace Magazine has paid off. I am so thrilled to work with such a sweet Publisher who truly walks with the Lord. She does so much in her home, at the Sarah Home for Women and on her ministries online, and I don’t think I have ever heard her complain. She always tries to display a loving and sweet attitude, and SisterLisa is truly a joy to work with!
We started Growing in Grace in January, during a particularly difficult time in our lives (after Grandma had passed away), and SisterLisa emailed me out of the blue and asked if I would be interested in collaborating with her and her daughters to create an online Christian Magazine for Bible-Believing Girls and their Moms. Knowing how well my daughters write, and how they love to write for the Lord, I agreed after considering if this was the direction God had for us. He had just released us from another writing position and we were thrilled to see what SisterLisa had in mind. After researching girls Christian magazines online, SisterLisa had found none that were particularly Christian, and knew there was a need. There are so very few print magazines out there for Christian girls that aren’t just full of pop-culture. We are not interested in that for our girls, and we wanted to share our love of the Word and desire to train our daughters up in Him with other moms and daughters.
I think we got that first issue out in a couple of weeks, and it was so good to publish it! And to see where God has brought us in just six short months is amazing to me! We have each found our places in writing, designing, advertising, publishing, editing…. the list goes on and on! Besides all of that, I get to assign the girls research articles each month as a lesson for homeschool! I mean, you can’t beat that!
I truly am proud to announce the August 2008 Issue of Growing in Grace Magazine to you! With all the planning for school and moving and coming into this final month of summer, time is really on my mind. I know it is so important for us as mothers to create and walk in Seasons of Heritage for Our Daughters as we are home with them, teaching them to live as God’s People.
Amanda is learning a lot as an eighteen-year-old about Accountability. She also shared in my heart about time and what The Consequences Are if you are not careful with it. God has also given her a heart for history too, and also for WWII, ever since she made her Great Grandfather a photo album with all of his Service photos. She was able to also research and write about The “Little Boy” Was Dropped and Honor Was Their Code, which is about the Navajo Code Talkers. We love history here, so this was a topic of discussion in our home for the past few weeks.
Jocelyn is Thinking Pink as she shares some excellent material about Good Posture. That is just a light topic for her. Her heavy article is about Boyfriends. I guess she has been listening for the past seventeen years as I told all of our relatives and joking friends that, “NO, she does not have a boyfriend and will not need one until she is looking to get married!”. Ha!
She compiled a fun article about Family-Fun with some of our GGM readers, and also wrote a beautiful article about The Miss Potter Era with our dear friend, Brielle! Be sure to check out the GIVEAWAY on this one!
Hannah worked so very hard on her article about Cowboys, Ranches and Farms. I am so very proud of all the information she gathered and put into her article. I can’t wait to get to do the study on Cowboys in our homeschool this year!
I love the site! SisterLisa is such a talented graphic designer. I thought I loved last month’s stars and stripes (which I did!), but this month is so fun and refreshing with the lemonade and the lemon twists. It is really pretty. Be sure to grab the Growing in Grace graphics for your site if you don’t already have them, and also the FREE Downloadable GGM August Desktop/Wallpaper!
So, enough of my going on about it all… go ahead… take a look at the wonderful articles that are sure to inform and inspire you. Of course, I am partial to my girls’ articles, but they are all wonderful.
Also, be sure to read A Mother’s Memo this week for details on several contests and other events. If you are a Christian Digi-Scrap Designer, see A Digi-Scrap Contest. Contest ends August 15th! Be sure to leave comments and share your thoughts with the authors! And, be sure to sign the guest book too!
I am currently planning this next year, as I am sure you are too!
We will be starting our a study on the Biblical Holidays by Heart of Wisdom, which will run through the entire year and also be a part of our Bible Study.
The girls will continue to work on Polished Cornerstones as a devotional study, and I am also going to have Eric, our only older boy, work on Plants Grown Up and also Created For Work as a daily devotional and projects.
Most of our learning will consist of our normal, everyday life, which is the best learning. Home Keeping, Cooking, taking care of our blessings, lawn care, animal husbandry, organizing, the list goes on and on…. I have a term for this: Living Learning Moments. That is our basis for our homeschool. Obviously, it is an ‘eclectic’ learning method!
We are planning to use several In the Hands of A Child Project Packs (lapbooks) for everyone to work together.
The ones we will be using are: Plants (science), Cowboys (history and FUN!), and American Government (history and to coincide with the Elections).
I also have a Knowledge Box Central EBook: Presidential Election Process, that will go great with that, as well as another product I got to review from Learning with Weblinks: America’s 50 States. Other books we will be using are the Uncle Eric books: Whatever Happened To Penny Candy?, Whatever Happened To Justice?, and Economics.
One thing I am really excited about is Spanish! We have learned some Latin together before, but most of the kids were too young to participate, so this is going to be fun! Those 6 years of High School and college Spanish classes will really come in handy! Of course, some of my fondest memories are of our family sitting around the table when I was younger, quizzing on the Spanish numbers, weeks of the days, etc. That was also how I learned my states and capitals!
For their individual workbooks, I am reviewing some Kumon workbooks, and I plan to have Hannah and Isaac start with those. Other than that, we are using A Beka for Handwriting, Math and Language for Hannah (8) and Isaac(5 -who will not officially be ‘in school’, but learning all the same!). Eric and Rachel will be doing review together so that I can see where they really are. I do have A Beka Arithmetic/Mathematics books for them to work out of.
Amanda, Jocelyn, Rachel, Eric, and Hannah will also be blogging assignments for Growing in Grace Magazine and/or their personal blogs. It is a great experience in research and writing, presenting a topic to the public, and dealing with comments and criticism.
I also have two shelves of Reading List Books, one for High School and one for everyone else. They are welcome to get a book and read it and mark it off the list when they are through.
So, as you plan, what do you already have planned or in the works for your 2008-2009 school year? What are some of your favorite group studies and individual curriculum? Did you post about it on your blog?
To all Readers Lurkers~
We will be posting Discussion of Chapters 14-17 of Rosa of Linden Castle on Thursday. Tomorrow is Isaac's fifth birthday, and I am not prepared to discuss tomorrow. Hopefully I will be on Thursday!! Pray for us as we are readying to publish GGM for August 1st!
If you are interested in reading along with us next time and adding to our discussion, we will be reading Enoch Roden's Training by Hesba Stretton - Lamplighter. We are letting you know early so you have time to purchase it and join in with us!!
Here is a little more about the book, from The Old Schoolhouse Store:
"This book is bursting with life's lessons! As Enoch's faith is tested, will he prove that his is no mere profession, but a real, living confidence in God's love and wisdom? Through severe trials, Enoch learns much about sound business principles, sacrifice, and trusting God. If he had only said, "I am working with God…" he would never have found the work wearisome, for of all grand, and comforting, and heart-refreshing thoughts in this world, to a Christian, the greatest is the thought that we are co-workers with God. Without a doubt, after reading this book, you'll walk away a better person than when you began." Enoch Roden's Training by Hesba Stretton
We hope that you will join us, and those of you reading along with us in Rosa will pop in and just say hello!!
The scoop on me: Believer for 20 years; married 19 years; 8 children so far, hoping for more; live on a great hobby farm, with 7 goats, 2 dogs and 68 chickens. Oh, and 1 bathroom. That's always fun. :)
The scoop on our homeschool: Bible-first, Living Learning Moments, meaning if it happens, it's a lesson. We learn life! How long have we been homeschooling? Well, our oldest is 18. How much longer do we have to go? Well, our youngest is almost 1. We love it and wouldn't have it any other way.
Jeremiah 6:16
Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls.
Adam walked in the Garden with God. He talked with him. God was his companion. Yet, that did not complete man. God's plan was different. Even as Adam walked with God, God saw a need in his new creation. God met that need with a woman.
Genesis 2:18 And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
Let us turn from the current 'pop-culture-christianity' society we live in and get back to the Word.

Deuteronomy 6:1-13
1 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it:
2 That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.
4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
10 And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,
11 And houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;
12 Then beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
13 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.
1 And God spake all these words, saying,
2 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
7 Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
12 Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
13 Thou shalt not kill.
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.
15 Thou shalt not steal.
16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
